This is a great sensory activity and gives the opportunity to talk about how the noodles are long, thin, and kind of sticky (they leave that nice pasta residue on your hands when you play with them). The fact that the noodles were dyed added an opportunity to discuss colors and Izzy mastered all of the colors in the bin by the end of the activity. But as I said, for the most part he was just interested in eating his noodles! This activity did keep him entertained for about 45 minutes though, so it was a true gem.
